Emma Stone was the undeniable vision of the 2026 Oscars red carpet, arriving at the Dolby Theatre on March 15 in an ethereal gown that looked as though it had been spun from moonlight.
The two-time Oscar winner arrived at the 98th Academy Awards in a square-neck, white shimmering gown with cap sleeves from Louis Vuitton. Crafted with elements of iridescent modern luxury and a classic silhouette, the gown offered a formfitting style with a regency-era design, and its fabric rendered a liquid-like illusion. The overall effect was one of restrained glamour — luminous without being overstated.
The gown was very much in keeping with a season-long commitment to the French fashion house. A global ambassador for Louis Vuitton since 2017, Stone, working with stylist Petra Flannery, wore the label to several awards shows this season — including colourful looks at the Actor Awards on March 1, minimalist glamour at the BAFTAs on February 22, and a butter yellow moment at the Golden Globes in January.
Stone completed the look with glimmering stud Repossi earrings, framed by her side-parted bobbed hair. The actress has been expertly growing out the shaved head she debuted for her role in Bugonia — the film she earned her Oscars nod for — and the result is a sleek, fully realised bob that felt just as triumphant as any award.
Celebrity hairstylist and RŌZ Hair founder Mara Roszak styled her jaw-length hair with a mini flip at the ends and a deep side part. Roszak described the vision as a ’90s blowout with soft movement, keeping the bob feeling fresh, modern, and full — polished but effortless, with soft volume and a subtle bend.
Stone kept her makeup minimal, opting for a peachy lip colour as her only real statement. Stone kept her makeup minimal, opting for a peachy lip colour as her only real statement. We can only assume its the creative genius of makeup artist Nina Park, who has been Stone’s trusted collaborator throughout this awards season, most recently working with her at both the BAFTAs and the Actor Awards.
Park, known for her bronzed skin, softly blurred lip lines, and subtle eye definition, has taken the beauty world by storm this awards season.
